MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A superb 12-meter putt off the back of the last green for eagle was Adrian Meronk’s spectacular signature to his Australian Open triumph at Victoria Golf Club. Meronk had the luxury of strolling down the last hole with a three-shot lead. He stretched the winning advantage to five shots to cap a solid 4-under 66. Poland’s first winner was also the first European to win the title since Rory McIlroy in 2013. Adam Scott finished second at 9 under with Min Woo Lee another shot back in third place. South African Ashleigh Buhai fought off late challenges from young Australian Grace Kim and then playing partner, South Korea’s Jiyai Shin, to win the Australian Open women’s title, which was being held concurrently with the men’s tournament off alternate tees.
